    Abstract Two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) are a major mechanism used by bacteria to sense and respond to their environments. Many of the same TCSs are used by biologically diverse organisms with different regulatory needs, suggesting that the functions of TCS must evolve. To explore this topic, we analysed the amino acid sequence divergence patterns of a large set of broadly conserved TCS across different branches of

    Abstract Salmonella Typhi is the cause of typhoid fever, a major global health concern. An essential virulence factor of this pathogen is typhoid toxin. In contrast to most AB-type toxins, typhoid toxin is exclusively expressed by intracellular bacteria. The regulatory networks that ensure this unique gene expression pattern are unknown. Here, we developed FAST-INSeq, a genome-wide screening approach to identify S. Typhi genes required for typhoid toxin expression within infected cells. We find that typhoid toxin expression is controlled by a silencing and counter-silencing mechanism through the opposing actions of the PhoP/PhoQ two-component regulatory system and the histone-like protein H-NS. The screen also identified bacterial mutants that alter the proportion of intracellular S. Typhi that reside within an intravacuolar environment, which was essential for toxin expression. Collectively, these data describe a regulatory mechanism that allows a bacterial pathogen to exclusively express a virulence factor when located within a specific intracellular compartment.

    Abstract A riboswitch is an RNA element that detects the level of a specific metabolite within the cell and regulates the expression of co-transcribed genes. By fusing a riboswitch to a reporter protein in a carefully designed and tested construct, this ability can be exploited to create an intracellular sensor that detects the level of a particular small molecule within live bacterial cells. There is a great deal of flexibility in the design of such a sensor and factors such as the molecule to be detected and the downstream experiments in which the sensor will be applied should guide the specific blueprint of the final construct. The completed sensor plasmid needs to be rigorously tested with appropriate controls to ensure that its dynamic range, signal strength, sensitivity and specificity are suitable for its intended applications. In this chapter, methods for the design, assessment and use of riboswitch sensors are provided along with those for one example application for which riboswitch sensors are ideally suited.

    Abstract Riboswitches have a number of characteristics that make them ideal regulatory elements for a wide range of synthetic biology applications. To maximize their utility, methods are required to create custom riboswitches de novo or to modify existing riboswitches to suit specific experimental needs. This chapter describes such a method, which exploits fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to quickly and efficiently sort through large libraries of riboswitch-like sequences to identify those with the desired activity. Suggestions for the experimental setup are provided, along with detailed protocols for testing and optimizing FACS conditions FACS selection steps, and follow-up assays to identify and characterize individual riboswitches.
